Definitions

  • the subject matter disclosed herein relates to cleaning systems for turbomachinery More specifically, the present invention relates to a system and a method for cleaning or removing coatings from a component of a turbomachine.
  • Turbomachinery such as compressors and turbines, may experience material buildup and/or coating wear over a period of operation. For example, protective coatings may gradually wear and become less effective.
  • the surface of various components may experience oxidation, corrosion, or material deposits (e.g., due to materials in the fluid flow).
  • the hot combustion gases can wear and/or buildup deposits on surfaces of the turbine blades, nozzles, shrouds, and other components. Unfortunately, the blades and other components have complex geometries, which complicate the cleaning process.
  • EP1640077 is seeking to clean a workpiece by putting into a tank and then moving a workpiece carrier within the tank so that a nozzle or nozzles can wash the workpiece.
  • the relative movement of the carrier and the tank can be with a linear displacement in the direction of the rotational axis, a linear displacement perpendicular to the rotational axis, a swivel movement about an axis perpendicular to the rotational axis and a swivel movement about an axis parallel to the rotational axis.
  • DE10216285 teaches another tank based solution where the nozzles for cleaning a workpiece are rotatable around the workpiece carrier and the workpiece carrier itself is rotatable in the tank.
  • US2010/132738 is yet another tank based solution in which the tank is adapted to receive a blade and moveable elliptical heads. The elliptical heads and moved by lifting arms to clean the blade, any detritus falls back into the tank.
  • the objective of the claimed subject matter is to provide a system and a method for cleaning and removing coatings from a component of a turbomachine in which the coating varies in thickness and hardness.
  • the disclosed embodiments include systems and methods for conformal cleaning and stripping a workpiece using high pressure spray nozzles. Rather than using a multi-axis spray nozzle, the system saves time and reduces costs by simplifying and speeding up the cleaning and stripping process.
  • a manifold arranges multiple nozzles around the workpiece so that the workpiece may be cleaned with fewer, or even a single pass.
  • the manifold and nozzles may conform to a shape of the workpiece, such that a substantially uniform distribution of fluid jets from the nozzles impacts the surface of the workpiece.
  • the manifold and distribution of nozzles may conform to an airfoil shape of a turbine blade, compressor blade, impeller, vane, or the like. In this manner, the manifold and distribution of nozzles may impact fluid jets around an entire perimeter of the workpiece, such that cleaning (i.e., removing and/or stripping deposits and/or coatings) is more uniform or rapid.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a cleaning and stripping system 10.
  • the system 10 includes a pump 12 and a manifold 14 connected to the pump 12 by a connection 16 (e.g., conduit).
  • the manifold 14 arranges multiple nozzles 18 (e.g., 2 to 1000) that spray the cleaning/stripping fluid (e.g., liquid, gas, and/or particle laden flow) onto a workpiece 20 (e.g., turbomachinery component, an airfoil, a turbine blade a compressor blade, an impeller, a turbine vane, or a compressor vane).
  • the fluid may include air, water, solvent, stripping chemicals, steam, abrasive particle laden liquid, etc.).
  • the pump 12 may produce pressures in excess of approximately 65,000 kPa, which is enough pressure, for example, to remove a thermal barrier coating from a turbine blade of a gas turbine engine. In other embodiments, the pressure may be between approximately 30,000 kPa and 100,000 kPa, or between approximately 50,000 and 80,000 kPa.
  • the manifold 14, the connection 16, and the nozzles 18 may be configured to be used in conditions where the pressure exceeds 65,000 kPa.
  • the manifold 14 and the nozzles 18 may include high strength metals or reinforced walls for improved durability, and the connection 16 may similarly include hoses or pipes made from durable materials.
  • the manifold 14 arranges the nozzles 18 to surround the workpiece 20 in order to clean the exterior surface of the workpiece 20.
  • the nozzles 18 are arranged in a pattern that generally conforms to a perimeter (e.g., inner or outer perimeter) of the workpiece 20.
  • the manifold 14 may include any number and spacing of nozzles 18, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or more nozzles 18 per 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 centimeters.
  • the manifold 14 may include 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 250, 500, 1000, or more nozzles 18.
  • the workpiece 20 may be any component or tool that fits within the dimensions defined by the manifold 14.
  • the system 10 includes a workpiece holder 22 (e.g., a motorized or hydraulic press) that is configured to translate and/or reciprocate along an axis 24.
  • the workpiece holder 22 is shown attached or secured to the workpiece 20.
  • the manifold 14 is stationary and the workpiece holder 22 translates the workpiece 20 along the axis 24 relative to the manifold 14.
  • the workpiece holder 22 may be attached to the manifold 14, in which case the workpiece 20 would remain stationary while the manifold 14 translates and/or reciprocates along the axis 24 relative to the workpiece 20. This configuration saves time and expense over single or multi-nozzle spray devices that move along three or more axes and that make multiple passes to remove the coating of the workpiece 20.
  • the system 10 also includes a controller 26 that monitors and controls various aspects of the system 10 to clean and strip the workpiece 20.
  • the controller 26 monitors and controls aspects of the pump 12 including pressure and power usage, for example.
  • the controller 26 is programmed to instruct the pump 12 to increase the pressure while the nozzles 18 are directed at certain portions of the workpiece 20, and also to decrease the pressure while the nozzles 18 are directed at other portions of the workpiece 20. This enables the system 10 to clean and strip workpieces 20 that have a coating that varies in thickness or hardness.
  • the controller 26 also controls the manifold 14 including the nozzles 18.
  • the manifold 14 may be configured to provide varying pressures to different nozzles 18 and shut off individual nozzles 18, which functionality may be controlled and monitored by the controller 26.
  • the manifold 14 and controller 26 may also be configured to change the shape of the nozzles 18 before or during operation. For example, the nozzles 18 may begin a cleaning operation in a small circle/dot shape, and later change into a longer slot shape.
  • the controller 26 also monitors and controls the workpiece holder 22 including speed or direction of translation along the axis 24.
  • the speed or direction of translation is controlled by the controller 26.
  • the controller 26 is dedicated entirely to the cleaning and stripping system 10.
  • the controller 26 may optionally also provide control (or at least some data to facilitate control) for other systems.
  • the controller 26 includes a processor 23 and a memory 25.
  • the processor 23 may include a single processor or two or more redundant processors, such as triple redundant processors for control of the cleaning and stripping system 10.
  • the memory 25 includes volatile and/or non-volatile memory.
  • the memory 25 includes one or more hard drives, flash memory, read-only memory, random access memory, or any combination thereof.
  • the controller 26 includes one or more tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable media (e.g., the memory 25) collectively storing one or more sets of instructions and one or more processing devices (e.g., the processor 23) configured to execute the one or more sets of instructions.
  • the controls includes software and/or hardware controls.
  • the controls includes various instructions or code stored on the memory 25 and executable by the processor 23.
  • the instructions control the rate that the workpiece 20 translates and/or reciprocates relative to the manifold 14, or control the pressure of the nozzles 18, an angle of the nozzles 18, a speed or angle of oscillation of the workpiece 20 relative to the manifold 14, and/or other operations of the cleaning system 10.
  • the instructions may be based on characteristics of the workpiece 20 (e.g., model, whether workpiece 20 is the first stage turbine blades, second stage turbine blades, first stator blades) or on the machine that the workpiece 20 was being used in (e.g., the type of machine, time since last cleaning, coating material used, etc.).
  • the characteristics may make up a profile or a conditions arrangement.
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the conformal cleaning system 10 including the manifold 14.
  • the system 10 includes the pump 12 and the connection 16 delivering a pressure (e.g., up to or in excess of approximately 65,000 kPa) to the manifold 14 in order to clean or strip the workpiece 20 (e.g., turbomachinery component).
  • the system 10 includes a manifold that conforms (i.e., matches or surrounds) the workpiece 20.
  • the illustrated system 10 demonstrates that the manifold 14 is configured to match to the shape of the workpiece 20 to clean the workpiece 20 or to strip and to remove a coating 27.
  • the airfoil shaped workpiece 20 illustrated in FIG. 2 is surrounded by a C-shaped manifold 14.
  • the manifold 14 surrounds most, but not necessarily all, of the circumference of the workpiece 20 in order to clean the workpiece 20 or remove the coating 27.
  • the coating 27 may include multiple layers, such as a thermal barrier coating (TBC) with a ceramic layer for use in high temperature conditions and an adhesive layer to attach the TBC to the substrate of the workpiece 20.
  • TBC thermal barrier coating
  • the coating 27 may also include layers of carbon deposits or other contaminants, such as deposits from hot combustion gases.
  • the cleaning system 10 may also be used to remove residue stains, spots, or other surface degradation associated with oxidation, corrosion, erosion, rust, or the like.
  • the manifold 14 and distribution of nozzles 18 substantially surround, match, or conform to the shape of the workpiece 20 by extending substantially around a perimeter of the workpiece 20 at a distance 28 that is within a range away from the workpiece 20.
  • the distance 28 may be configured to balance a spread of the fluid from the nozzles 18 and the resultant drop in pressure.
  • the distance 28 may thus be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more centimeters.
  • the range is defined as the difference between the minimum distance 28 and the maximum distance 28 of the manifold 14 and/or distribution of nozzles 18 relative to the perimeter (e.g., inner or outer perimeter) of the workpiece 20.
  • the manifold 14 and distribution of nozzles 18 surround all or a portion of the workpiece 20 (e.g., in one or more planes crosswise or perpendicular to the axis 24), so that each nozzle 18 is approximately 3 to 4 cm away from the perimeter of the workpiece 20 (e.g., a range of approximately 1 cm).
  • the range is less than or equal to approximately 5 cm, 4 cm, 3 cm, 2 cm, 1 cm, 0.5 cm, or less.
  • the manifold 14 and distribution nozzles 18 may be the same distance 28 away from the workpiece 20 around the entire perimeter of the workpiece 20 (e.g., a range of approximately zero).
  • the nozzles 18 have an airfoil shaped distribution 19 along an airfoil shaped opening 15 in the manifold 14.
  • the airfoil shapes 15, 19 may correspond to an airfoil shape of a turbine or compressor blade, for example.
  • the distance 28 may be different for different parts surrounding the workpiece 20.
  • each nozzle 18 may be adjustable such that for one workpiece 20 the manifold 14 may have one shape, while for a different workpiece 20, the same manifold 14 may have a different shape due to adjustment of some of the nozzles 18 within that manifold 14.
  • the nozzles 18 are installed on the manifold 14 pointing directly at the workpiece 20.
  • the nozzles 18 may include a subset of nozzles 18 that each impinge upon the workpiece 20 at a different angle. For example, while one nozzle 18 may point directly along a normal of the workpiece 20, the adjacent nozzle 18 may point at an angle 10 degrees, or 15 degrees from the normal of the workpiece 20.
  • the manifold 14 may include a plenum 30 configured to provide substantially equal pressure to the nozzles 18.
  • the plenum 30 may include a hollow space inside the manifold 14 with a cross-sectional area that is significantly greater than the area of the nozzle 18.
  • the pump 12 pressurizes a stripping fluid, such as water or water with abrasive material like sand or garnet added, which is then conveyed to the plenum 30 via the connection 16.
  • the plenum 30 receives the stripping fluid into the plenum chamber and equalizes the pressure for even distribution through the nozzles 18.
  • the workpiece 20 may not be the same cross-sectional shape 32 along the length of the translation axis 24.
  • the manifold 14 is configured to maintain an average distance from the workpiece 20 and other factors may be controlled to equalize stripping so that some areas of the workpiece do not get stripped more than others.
  • the controller 26 may control a flow control valve 33 for one or more nozzles 18 in order to change the shape of the nozzles 18 and/or the spray pattern.
  • the flow control valve 33 may also change the pressure of each individual nozzle 18, or create a frequency (e.g., pulsating flow at frequency) in which the nozzle 18 is alternately spraying and not spraying.
  • the frequency may change on a per-nozzle 18 basis or the controller 26 may control all the nozzles 18 at once to maintain the same frequency.
  • the manifold 14 may also be configured to arrange the nozzles 18 closer to or further apart from one another. This may provide more stripping fluid pressure to some areas of the workpiece 20 than to others. In these ways the controller 26 may control cleaning of the workpiece and/or the amount of the coating 27 that is removed from the workpiece 20 as it is translated along the axis 24 through the entire length of the workpiece 20.
  • the controller 26 may also adjust (e.g., increase or decrease) the speed of the workpiece holder 22, pressure from the pump, fluid composition, (e.g., amount of abrasive material), distance of nozzles 18, angle of nozzles 18, opening size of nozzles 18, or any combination thereof.
  • fluid composition e.g., amount of abrasive material
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the conformal cleaning system 10 including several nozzle subsets 34 (e.g. manifold 14 portions with nozzles).
  • Each of the subsets 34 may include the plenum 30 and includes nozzles 18.
  • the system 10 with multiple subsets 34 is more adaptable to various shapes of workpieces 20. That is, if the system 10 is used to clean and strip a variety of workpieces 20 with a variety of shapes, it may be useful to have the system 10 be adaptable.
  • the subsets 34 of nozzles 18 are more mobile and changeable than a manifold 14 with a single shape.
  • Each subset 34 may include a pump 12 and a connection 16 (e.g., conduit).
  • Each subset 34 includes an exclusive set of nozzles 18 and a driver 36 that is able to change the distance 28 of the subset 34 in relation to the workpiece 20.
  • Each driver 36 may include a motorized actuator, a hydraulic actuator, a pneumatic actuator, or any combination thereof. Thus, during a cleaning or stripping operation, each driver 36 moves each subset 34 individually to increase, decrease, or maintain the distance 28 from the workpiece 20 based on the shape of the workpiece 20.
  • the subsets 34 may include as few as one nozzle 18 and as many as 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50 or more nozzles 18.
  • the nozzles 18 may also include a variety of shapes that may or may not change during operation.
  • the illustrated nozzles 18 include a slot-type nozzle 18 and a dot or round nozzle 40.
  • Other shapes may include triangle, square, pentagonal, or other shapes.
  • Different shapes of nozzles 18 may enable the system 10 to employ a variety of spray patterns that facilitate stripping or cleaning of a variety of surface constitutions and contours.
  • the workpiece holder 22 may oscillate the workpiece 20 circumferentially 41 around the axis of translation 24.
  • the oscillations may be in a limited range of degrees (e.g., 15, 10, 5, or fewer degrees) so that the shape of the manifold 14 still substantially matches or conforms to the shape 32 of the workpiece 20 as the workpiece 20 or the manifold 14 is translated along the axis 24.
  • the workpiece holder 22 may oscillate completely 360 degrees.
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a cleaning system 10 including the manifold 14 configured to point nozzles 18 outward.

  • the manifold 14 is connected to the pump 12 via the connection 16.
  • the manifold 14 arranges the nozzles 18 as in the embodiments described with regard to the previous figures. In the illustrated embodiment of FIG. 4 , however, the nozzles 18 impinge outward from the manifold 14 instead of inward.
  • the manifold 14 may be configured to maintain a range of distance 28 between the nozzles 18 and the workpiece 20.
  • the manifold 14 in FIG. 4 may also contain subsets of nozzles 18 as illustrated in FIG. 3 .
  • the subsets of nozzles 18 incorporated into the interior of a workpiece 20 may also be shifted closer to and away from the workpiece 20 using the driver 36, as was described with respect to FIG. 3 .
  • conformal cleaning and stripping systems 10 that include the manifold 14 to arrange nozzles 18 to substantially match the shapes of workpieces 20.
